@shawtyright33: Why do y’all get so mad at us when we tell you the specimen is clotted or hemolyzed? 😩 Mix your tubes when you draw and don’t force the syringe plunger…let the vacuum do its job.

Real talk. As a RN I didn't get tought in school how to draw labs. I learned in the ER by a friendly phlebotomist. So keep teaching us.

How come certain techs it’s always hemolyzed and others I never have a problem. 🧐

I had a NICU nurse tell me that there’s no way her cbc was clotted bc she took the clot out before she sent it … Stay healthy y’all

I actually love to see this side and understand. Blows my mind that nobody teaches us this. I only know because a nice lab tech explained it to me.

Priscilla :
ok, but why am I learning this until now?! I always thought it was due to sitting out too long 😬

Marissa :
No one has ever told me to mix the tube… 😳 maybe lab techs can tell the nurse to prevent it from happening again..

Or they let it sit in the syringe for too long before they put it in the tube zero

No bc I know when my tubes are clotted but since I work NICU I sometimes send them down and just hope and pray something can be worked out 😭

we aren't mad at the lab we are mad at ourselves and the fact we have to poke our patient again 😔

I think nurses get mad because we are overworked and short staffed and rushed. But we’re all busy and we all need to do our job efficiently.

welcome, everything is fine :
I loved getting notes in the bag with the tubes that said “not clotted!” Or “not hemolyzed!”

Nurses aren't trained on phlebotomy. Will always be a learning curve

I’m a former lab tech turned RN. I always give my coworkers tips on making sure their labs won’t get rejected. 🫶🏾

I’ve been in the ER for 7 years and have never had anybody teach us about labs. But yet I’m still the one responsible for getting them. Thank you!
